Mysterious post appears on missing 11-year-old FW girl’s FB account

Fort Worth police were investigating a bizarre development in the search for a missing 11-year-old girl feared kidnapped by her mentally ill mother.

According to WFAA TV (Channel 8), a message appeared Friday on the Facebook page of Jessica Smith that said: “Everyone I’m fine you all can stop worrying about me. Just stop trying to contact me. I’m just done. I’m done with everyone.” WFAA received a screen shot of what appeared to be the post late Friday (pictured), but it was not immediately clear where it originated.

Fort Worth police on Friday acknowledged they are investigating the phantom post, but did not release details. At 9 p.m., Fox 4 interviewed the friend of Jessica’s who apparently first noticed the post, and that friend said she thought it sounded like Jessica.
